It was really refreshing to go through a process that had absolutely no hiccups at all, the service that we were offered exceeded our expectations. We would unreservedly recommend the company to anyone seeking to exchange currency.

Very efficient service. I’ve never used a service like this before & was purchasing a house in France. It was all explained very well & I was kept informed all along the process. Putting a deposit down to pre-book the rate also saved us a fortune.
